Abstract :
Summary form only given.We have demonstrated that photorefractive soliton-induced waveguides can improve the SHG conversion efficiency considerably while offering tuning angle range of /spl plusmn/7/spl deg/, which translates into 4 nanometer tunability. We expect much higher improvement with a longer crystal and a narrower soliton.
